Millage rates approved

The Fulton County Board of Commissioners approved a revenue-neutral county-wide millage rate of 12.322 mills Wednesday. This includes 12.052 mills for the General Fund and .27 mills for the Bond Fund.

Additionally, the board approved a millage rate of 4.307 mills for the Special Services District Fund, a reduction of .162 mills from the previous year.

The General Fund and the Bond Fund are two taxes paid by all county property owners. The Special Services District Fund is a tax paid by property owners in the unincorporated portions of the County.

After submitting the county's tax digest to the Georgia Department of Revenue, and obtaining conditional approval, the Fulton County Tax Commissioner anticipates mailing Atlanta and Fulton County 2003 property tax bills July 1.

City of Atlanta taxes are due August 15 and Fulton County taxes are due October 15.
